Le Noel

Announcing their specialties for Noel.Yummy pictures were enclosed...Look at this divine Buche de Noelcovered in macarons! Mousse au chocolat, bavaroise amande, biscuit macaron orange, zeste d'orange. And special new mini macarons encrusted with sugar...I wish they would sell the posters to us deprived, macaron-starved non-Parisians...

The next best thing is a virtual munch..

If you ARE in Paris or London or hundreds of other places except New York at the moment, just be aware if you sit down (sur place) to eat your dozen macs it'll cost you more than if you scarfe them in the street (emporte)...

One thing I simply cannot understand, is the fascination (obsession ?) that you and many others have of macarons. What exactly is it that is so delicious about those ? I tried macarons from Gérard Mulot and Stohrer (I hope we agree, that they are both renowned patisseries in Paris) - and I still do not like them. They are so overly sweet, it gives me goosebumps and so sticky ! One must be a bonafide sugarholic to like them.....Gitte

Hi, i am a frequent reader of your blog and i am amazed by the macarons and the boxes that is used to contain them. But one bad thing is that i am in Singapore. If you ever know where that is. There is only one macaron boutique and i am kinda tired of it. so can i find out whether you could send the macarons from Pierre Herme and Laudree to me ? I would pay you for sure

We would like to introduce our self as the world biggest corporate group called Reliance industries ltd in India. I would like to know about the macarons of different flavor manufactured by your company called called Laduree Paris as same is required for my hon’ble chairman flights in India.

I would appreciate if you could send the details about the products and what is the procedure to get the same from your company along with the cost and transportation cost.

Please send the above details at the earliest and if possible can you call me back.

Sorry for you, anonymous, that you "simply cannot understand" the macaron thing. If you've tried Mulot and don't get it ... well, perhaps that says more about you than macarons. That's like saying, "What's the big deal with goat cheese?" Or "Who really likes Cote du Rhone wines?" Maybe Oreos or Fig Newtons are more your speed. Stay with what you know.

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5. I'm still at it, now tripping over cobblestones, living in a 6th-floor garret on l'Ile Saint-Louis, Paris. Read Parisbreakfast with a hot chocolate and croissant.
I paint Paris breakfasts.
